Hyperledger Telecom Special Interest Group (TC-SIG) Q2 Update
In the second Quarter two new subgroups Inter-Carrier Settlement and Service Level Agreement are started in Telecom SIG. Twenty five new members joined in second quarter. TC-SIG finished one white paper on Inter-Carrier Settlement between different Telecom Operators and our talk with topic Blockchain-based Solution for Reducing the Cost of Settling Inter-carrier Charges is selected in Open Networking Summit. We are also in the process to submit our code in Hyperledger Labs and two POCs are ready. We completed five months with 133 Members. Meetings are taking place every other week on Thursday. Till now we have nine Bi-Weekly calls and attendance at the meetings is approximately same.
Issues being faced by the group
